However, it goes back to what I was saying in previous posts. Consistency in "no rush to judgment" and "innocent until proven guilty" gives those more credibility rather than it being subjective. I do remember, for example, those Casey Anthony threads.

Truth, and I actually mostly agree with Tony raising that question. This case is something of a window into race in modern America, and the difference between a white infant (possibly just "infant") and black teenager as victim can't be ignored.
None of those things, though, change the fact that elements of public discourse on
this specific case are somewhat out of control, or that the case itself (and the public) could benefit from a dose of rational thought.
